The World of Cocktails: Trends to Watch in 2025

Cocktail culture is evolving fast, and 2025 is shaping up to be a revolutionary year for mixology. Whether you're a bartender, a cocktail enthusiast, or just someone who loves a great drink in a stylish bar, here are the trends you need to know.

Sustainability is now a priority. In our workshops in Nice, we are already using local ingredients, reusable materials and reducing waste. Expect to see more cocktails made with locally sourced herbs, seasonal fruits and low-waste techniques.

Low and no-alcohol cocktails are also on the rise. People want to enjoy the social experience without the heavy buzz. Mocktails are now crafted with the same level of detail and creativity as traditional drinks.

Another exciting trend is the return to forgotten spirits. Old liqueurs and rare regional alcohols are making a comeback. At Beer&Dash, we’re introducing guests to lesser-known spirits that surprise and excite the palate.

Interactive cocktail experiences are also booming. It’s no longer just about ordering a drink—it’s about being part of the creation process. That’s why our cocktail workshops are more popular than ever. In 2025, expect even more personalized, hands-on sessions.

Finally, AI and tech in mixology are entering the scene, from digital menus that suggest cocktails based on mood to precision-pouring tools. The cocktail experience is getting smarter and more interactive.
